View Slideshow Turn on the lights and hang the open sign in the window, Frank Lloyd Wright’s Darwin D. Martin House Complex is open for business and Buffalo is one step closer to becoming a world-class architectural tourism destination. Members of the Martin House Restoration Corporation this week officially unveiled three buildings that have been reconstructed on the Martin House campus. The ceremony, which saw many in attendance huddled against driving rains near seated guests under a tent on the east lawn of the compound, culminated with California architect Eric Lloyd Wright, Wright’s grandson, and Darwin Martin Foster, Martin’s grandson,…

Only one hundred miles up the QEW, the Greater Toronto Area (GTA) has approximately three and half million potential tourists at your doorstep. But I never see any tourism promotion for Buffalo up here; not on billboards, or subway posters, not on radio spots or newspaper Travel Section…
Iim a huge fan of food co-ops. I discovered them seven years ago just after I moved to Austin Texas for graduate school.

Elmwood, Hertel, Allentown, are all close enough to rail stops to make train travel for intown needs a viable option. No?…
